Revelation 1–11: The MacArthur New Testament Commentary is unavailable, but you can change that!

Full of shrouded prophecy and eschatological mysteries, Revelation has perplexed scholars and readers alike for centuries. MacArthur's commentary sheds light on many practical applications that can be gleaned from the book of Revelation. A perfect companion to Scripture for devotional or scholarly study.

suggest that John’s statement in this verse is best understood in the sense of revelation about Jesus Christ (cf. 1 Cor. 1:7; Gal. 1:12; 2 Thess. 1:7; 1 Pet. 1:7). The Gospels are also about Jesus Christ, but present Him in His first coming in humiliation; the book of Revelation presents Him in His second coming in exaltation. Every vision and description of Him in Revelation is one of majesty, power, and glory. Christ’s unveiling begins in 1:5–20, where He is revealed in His ascended majesty.
